Carmen
Apr 25 - May 4, 2025May 3 - 4 | Broward Center, Ft. Lauderdale
Colombian-Belgian choreographer Annabelle Lopez Ochoa has made her mark by pushing boundaries, reimagining classics, and turning the expected upside down. Now, she turns her attention to one of the most iconic heroines of all time with the world premiere of Carmen.
You think you know Carmen—but think again. Love, seduction, jealousy, and fate still burn at its core, but Ochoa’s vision reveals a deeper, more potent force at the heart of this story. Carmen’s power is undeniable—and she’s never been more captivating.
For over a century, Carmen has been reinterpreted across opera, film, and theater, but never like this. With her signature sensuality, theatricality, and bold vision, Ochoa elevates Carmen’s strength, transforming the classic into something thrilling, unexpected and exhilarating.
A fiery world premiere crackling with passion, power, and a twist you won’t see coming. Be the first to experience Carmen.
